>> reporter: that's the big question that both nato and the afghan ministry of defense and ministry of interior are trying to figure out. they're trying to revet all these forces they've brought in. we have to remember in 2010 nato asked for an influx of afghan troops to help stabilize the security into afghan hands by the withdrawal date at the end of 2014. so with that influx it was more about quantity than it was about quality, and now they're looking back trying to figure out who these bad seeds are and the taliban themselves in 2011 said that they would infiltrate the afghan security forces. >> in the evening hours there for us. thank you so much. now to libya. the new government firing the security chiefs pour benghazi today in the wake of last week's attacks on the u.s. consulate there that killed ambassador chris stevens and they're other americans. they have two different versions of that attack. >> the way these perpetrators acted and moved, this leaves us with no doubt that this was preplanned. >> what happened in benghazi was, in fact, initially a spontaneous reaction to wh
